Excerpt: ... though the Czar expressly delired to be treated without ceremony, he would not alter his resolution. For this reason Peter so ordered his journey, that he entered Berlin at a very late hour, -and alighted at a lodging prepared for him by his ambafiador, Soon after, Frederick sent the grand master of his ceremonies, and two of the gentlemen of his bedchamber, to compliment him on his arrival. The Czar gave them to understand, that he should stay but a few days at Berlin, and that, if the King pleased, he would wait on him the following day " about noon. The rssnagnificent carriages waited for him and his attendants till noon, when the persons who brought them 'were informed that the Czar was already with the King, At eleven o'clock he had slipped out of 'the back door, and walked to the palace. The Czar thanked him politely for his attention; ' I have avoided them, ' said he; I am not accustomed to magnificence; dis like parade, and always walk about town on foot. It sometimes happens that I walk five times as far as I have done to day." O 3-Pain; a LXIII.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This psychologically penetrating revisionist account of the life and rule of Rusia's 18th-century Tsar-reformer develops an important theme - that is, what happens when the drive for "progress" is linked to an autocratic, expansionist impulse rather than to a larger goal of human emancipation? And, what has been the price of power - both for Peter and for Russia?

Book excerpt: Peter the Great, crowned tsar of Russia at the age of ten, believed that whatever he wanted he should have -- and the sooner the better. What he wanted most was to bring his beloved country into the modem world. He traveled to the West to learn European ways -- the first tsar ever to leave Russia -- disguised as a common soldier. He explored the West with excitement and curiosity and returned home ready to undertake a series of momentous social reforms. And to satisfy his boyhood dream of a Russian naval port, he began to build, on a freezing swamp, a glittering new capital to be named St. Petersburg. In this welcome reissue of Diane Stanley's acclaimed picturebook biography, her meticulously researched text and sumptuous illustrations capture the fabulous world of seventeenth -- and eighteenth-century tsarist Russia and the greatness of its larger-than-life leader -- a man of huge stature and tremendous spirit whose impatience and vision, insatiable curiosity and boundless energy transformed half a continent.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PULITZER PRIZE WINNER • An “urgently readable” (Newsweek) biography of the captivating tsar who changed Russian history—from the New York Times bestselling author of Nicholas and Alexandra, The Romanovs, and Catherine the Great “Enthralling . . . as fascinating as any novel and more so than most.”—The New York Times Book Review Against the monumental canvas of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Europe and Russia unfolds the magnificent story of Peter the Great, crowned co-tsar at the age of ten. Robert K. Massie delves deep into his life, chronicling the pivotal events that shaped a boy into a legend—including his “incognito” travels in Europe, his unquenchable curiosity about Western ways, his obsession with the sea and establishment of the stupendous Russian navy, his creation of an unbeatable army, his transformation of Russia, and his relationships with those he loved most: Catherine, the robust yet gentle peasant, his loving mistress, wife, and successor; and Menshikov, the charming, bold, unscrupulous prince who rose to wealth and power through Peter’s friendship. Impetuous and stubborn, generous and cruel, tender and unforgiving, a man of enormous energy and complexity, Peter the Great is brought fully to life.
